what happens if you give birth abroad
In: 3
My son was born abroad. As we were american citizens, we applied to the US Consulate and got a birth certificate. It says “US Citizen born abroad”, and he didn’t retain any citizenship rights in the country he was born in.
It varies country by country, but in most places, if both parents are US citizens only, the child gets a birth certificate through the consulate. If the parents are citizens of that country, or one parent is, or there is dual citizenship, then the child may or may not be eligible, depending on the laws in that country.
